Netflix's Messiah meets The Second Coming by John Niven Goodreads
review: incredibly relevant to our time, and a book you do not want
to miss. Goodreads review: disturbing, real, scary and
thought-provoking. Sophie Adams is teaching her primary school
class when suddenly the world goes dark. Chaos reigns for twelve
long minutes and when the sun appears again, so does a man call him
Joe unkempt, mysterious, kind and, Sophie notes very good-looking.
Sophie gradually learns more about where Joe is from and why he has
appeared. She questions his sanity and her own when he claims to be
the son of God returned to Earth to sort out the mess we have made
of it all, but evidence outweighs her doubts and before she knows
it she is besotted by this handsome and mysterious stranger. News
of Joe spreads far and wide and as he begins to trend on Twitter,
world leaders start to take note, bickering between themselves over
who is really behind this strange event, and with cries of fake
news ringing around The White House the media goes wild. Joe
steadily wins over the doubters and slowly, slowly his message
begins to sink in and a groundswell of positivity moves across the
world. Maybe, just maybe, we have time to put things right. Set
against a beautiful New Zealand backdrop this wonderful debut
touches upon many things that really matter, but ultimately it is a
unique love letter to the world we live in today. '...it is
wonderful, for so many different reasons it really lifted me up and
gave me hope it showed me how simply we can make all the changes
needed an incredibly engaging read the authors obviously have a
great deal of love for the world we live in and the people that
inhabit it.' Tales Before Bedtime 'I loved every word I loved the
concept ...fascinating and so real a unique read.' The Book Lover's
Boudoir '... a book that's stayed in my mind you can't help but
keep reading a mix of satire yet serious themes. An intriguing,
thrilling, almost prescient read subjective, thoughtful, current
and frightening - a book everyone should pick up Bravo to the
author for writing such a provocative read.' AlexJ book reviews ' a
powerful story with a well executed plot and brilliant writing a
brilliantly thought-provoking read. It's incredibly relevant to our
time and a book you do not want to miss.' The Bibliophile
Chronicles 'Absolutely devoured Call Me Joe it feels distressingly
timely.' Drink.Read.Repeat
